We already HAVE a dept of homeland security - in that 5 sided building that the plane hit.

I think that "Homeland Security" is worse than the terrorists, and if we cannot be free, why bother to even live? I will wait until the USA Immigration stops
the Islamic terrorists from coming into this country, and then I might see a reason for homeland security, but if we just let the foxes in the hen house continually, it is a waste of time and effort. So save your breath!

Most agree that the existing bureaucracy was inept. The CIA, the FBI, the INS, and Customs failed to protect us.

All you need to know about the tragedy of September 11th.

And now, since fedgov failed repeatedly the answer is a new department for them to screw up and a government snitch program.

Brilliant.

"My opinion invade Saudi Arabia and treat them like Ghenghis Khan would have."

I guess you didn't get the memo: America has a "hands-off...hear no evil, see no evil" policy regarding Saudi Arabia and their obvious role as stealth partner and financier of the "Axis of Evil".

[Zviadist]

I don't think this is an intelligent statement....

You think it is "intelligent" for the United States to interfere in other people's wars?

[Commie Basher]

My opinion invade Saudi Arabia and treat them like Ghenghis Khan would have.

I don't think Ghenghis Khan was the national role model that Washington or Jefferson had in mind.

Then no one will ever commit terrorist attacks against the US ever again.

How about we stay out of other peoples' wars -- then no one would ever want to commit terrorist attacks on the US again.

I don't think pacifism will work I agree with the libertarians on all but immigration and foreign policy but these savages understand only fear, force, and death. They all want to become martyrs for Allah fine. Lets make them all martyrs.

[Commie Basher]

Libertarians aren't Ghandi pacifists. They are foreign non-interventionists.

If the U.S. stops protecting/funding our "allies," then their enemies won't become our enemies. We'll have far fewer enemies if we mind our own business.

Long past time for the US to pull out of NATO, the UN, the mideast, and wherever else we have a military presence or send foreign aid.

[notease]

Very well said Commie Basher. We need to stop borrowing trouble. Or more accurately, we should stop BUYing trouble.

[Fred Mertz]

Ron Paul BUMP!

[notease]

The idea that Saudi Arabia should be the protected financier of terrorism which gets no trouble from us while we beat the bushes elsewhere looking for whipping boys
is unacceptable. Mr. Bush is beginning to look like something other than a patriot.
